      Cygnus is about the best, whatever is in that should be more or less straight up. Well it was last night at mid-night.

      Pig

      That is interesting, does that mean you get the same visual effect but with lower power ?

    3. emadmoussa

      emadmoussa

      I suppose with such a scope a high mag EP will just over-magnify and thus compromise contrast..

  18. Thinking Baader click-stop zoom EP... mm
